 A great album Oct 11, 2008
This was my first CD by MG. I thought it was an instant classic for country music lovers. Almost every song on here is about redemption (Some People Change), love (Lucky Man), or just puts a smile on your face (Redder Than That). I love this CD.
The only slight downfall is the song "Clouds". It is a tear jerker and does not fit into the tempo of every other song on here.
But still, I love this CD and am glad this is the new face of country music.

never heard of these guys until I saw the video of the song, "What do you think about that?" I really like that song, so true it is. Good album.
 What a great album Mar 24, 2008
I'm not really a country music fan. I normally listen to contemparary Christian / gospel / rock / alt. That being said I really really like this album. It's honest, heartfelt, and just downright good. This is probably the best country album I've ever heard.
Hell Yeah! Dec 30, 2007
No. That song isn't on there. But the country-rock sound of the MG twins still exists with this loaded CD!
I recall hearing the title track "Some People Change" as an unreleased single from the Kenny Chesney CD "When the Sun Goes Down." The song needed to be released. It's a terrific ballad about the problem of alcohol use and racial critizism. In my opinion, it is truly a Montgomery Gentry song.
There's Jay in the backseat! The rocking track "Hey Country" puts fourth the actual sound of country music from where it started out: cowboy hats!
It's about time they acheived a number one hit when the single "Lucky Man" was released. You really have to listen to the words of the song to appreciate that your'e lucky for having a few dollars, a good running truck, supper in the oven, and a "ticking ticker."
If a girl throws you down, she shouldn't be laughing about it for long. This is true in the single "Your Tears Are Comin'". What goes around comes around!
The highlight of the CD would have to be the newly expressed emotion in the track "Clouds." You can tell Eddie felt his son and his father's passings with that side of him that never before have I heard! Their somewhere up in the clouds, and when it rains their's crying. Someday he'll be up there to see him in the clouds. It's a really amazing song.
Every day sons get in trouble with their fathers from not thinking alike. This is especially true in the well-written "Twenty Years Ago" where his dad is running down his friends, hair, and rock and roll. Their differences are forgotten about when the old man waits in the hospital bed and lets go of life. It is then and there that he realizes that all he wanted was to be his kid.
While there is quite a lot of heart-felt tracks that seems like a new gentleman side of MG, the track "What Do Ya Think About That" re-enforces that in-your-face side of Montgomery Gentry that everybody likes! Some people do care about what other people think, and they don't need to. Theyr'e the way they are and shouldn't give a holy damn of what other people feel for them!
There's humor in the song "A Man's Job". Her new guy is never home, and she has to raise the baby on her own. That boy can't do a man's job, and Eddie was called for advice. He said what anybody else in his place would say: too bad. Your'e on your own.
Everybody always thinks they're something until they actually go out into the real world. The song "Free Ride in the Fast Lane" tells you that for every ounce of pleasure there's a pound of pain. One thing in life is true, your'e either dead or your'e hurting!
This record was an excellent choice. I thought it would be mostly calm tunes sense the last releases seemed to have that peaceful and soft new sound. It's good to know that the MG boys haven't changed that much. In fact, they dropped the "A" bomb three times in the record!
My kind of music Dec 22, 2007
I adore this CD. The song What DoYou Say AboutThat mirrors many of my own attitudes. There are a great many people today who think it is their business what their neighbors drive or what color their house is painted. It ain't none of their darn business. If people spent as much effort taking care of their own business and staying out of their neighbors business, it would be a much nicer world.
